Scotland boosts support for postgraduate students
The Scottish government has pledged loans to support an extra 2,300 postgraduate students, bringing the total supported places up to 4,000.
Loans of up to £3,400 are made available to students under the Postgraduate Student Allowances Scheme, and it will now also cover 100 places at the Open University.
The announcement comes amid fears of a postgraduate funding crisis in England, where students do not receive any state support and often have to rely on commercial loans.
Michael Russell, the Scottish education secretary, said: “As part of our work on post 16 education reform we have been looking at ways in which we can simplify and improve student support, including how we fund those studying for postgraduate qualifications.
“We have had a number of very positive discussions around future provision, and are now pleased to say that almost twice as many postgraduate students will be eligible for support from 2012-13.”
